    On this sequel, Gibbs mostly sounds bored, aggressively bored or boringly aggressive. The ever creative Madlib chucks in everything he can find to dazzle the listener.

Often his work sounds too dense to compete with mass-market trap, and struggles to support Gibbs’s gruff rhymes.

    Album of the Year. Awesome songs, no flaws. Beat Konducta and Gangsta Gibbs did it again after Pinata.
